Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  My apologies. I'm actually not making up amendments on the fly, here.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  As to what it means. I apologize, could you...?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I do.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  To be completely candid, we're just seeing this language for the first time, as well. It's my assumption that the intention here is to ensure that each agreement would specify a mechanism, presumably including the kinds of things that have to be monitored, the kinds of indicators

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I want to try to be careful. I'm not posing objections. I'm trying to identify implications of the language that may be positive or negative, depending on your view. I'm not taking a position on this. I commented on three phrases. One is “demonstrably provide”. That is a differe

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I'll take your guidance, but it's a package. The whole clause is a package. You can try to put everything in one single subclause. The final clause that is in here is the authority for the minister to draft regulations, or for the Governor in Council to draft regulations respecti

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Mr. Chair, perhaps I could just start at the beginning and explain the initial rationale for the amendment to Bill C-30, in clause 5. It is indeed as all three members who have spoken have emphasized. To make explicit the desire that the test for equivalency be an effects-based

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  We don't need it.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  That's correct. It refers to a clause that no longer exists, so this clause of Bill C-30 is no longer needed.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Sure. Mr. McGuinty is correct in the sense that this provision is no longer needed. This doesn't actually establish a new committee. What we were trying to do was ensure that the national advisory committee, which is a federal-provincial-aboriginal committee that advises on all

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Mr. Chair, before you do that, the officials aren't here; they will be here for the 3:30 session. This is my responsibility. I told them they probably wouldn't be needed for this time because I had assumed you were going to go back and do the provisions that you had deferred, the

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I want to remind members, respectfully, that in fact this provision is independent of the creation of a clean air part or not. All this provision is doing is taking these substances off the list of toxic substances. It's doing so in conjunction with other provisions, which have n

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  The intention of this amendment, of course, is part and parcel of the government's overall approach. That was to create a separate clean air part, in order to allow for the scientific identification, assessment, monitoring, and regulation, ultimately and if necessary, of air poll

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  My understanding was that the Liberal amendments to clause 18 created additional regulatory authorities. I'm wondering if this clause should be extended to those new authorities as well.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I could give you an example, but I don't think I could do so comprehensively in the....
